Warerevar, Coxx., Feb, 28,—Miss Lizzie Cowan of Middleburg, aged twenty, a hanJ- some and popular school teacher, was brutally assanlted while on her way home from school just after dark last night and ner injuries are believed to be serious.

Bishop Hurst Closes the Deal and Makes a $20,000 Payment. A transaction of great importance was closed today. The property known as the Davis tract on the Loughborough road was formally trans- ferred to Bishop John F. Hurst, as the repre- sentative of the Methodist church. Here will be located the proposed Methodist university, as already announced in Taz Sram, Several weeks ago Bishop Hurst obtained an option on this property with the view of pur- chasing it in the event that the enterprise met with encouragement. Since that time Bishop Hurst has received notonly liberal dona- tions of money from residents of this city, but letters: from educators in all parts of the country and others heartily indorsing the project. He announced that he wished the money to be used in the purchase of the property to be raised here, His a ‘bas met with such a liberal re- sponse that he felt justified in anticipating the time fixed by the option and in making the purchase at once. Today the nec papers wero drawn and Bishop. Hurst paid to the owner of the property, J.W. Davis, 920,000 as THE FIRST PAYMENT, the price agreed upon being $100,000 for the ninety acres, With the exception of one subscription from a citizen of Baltimore, Bishop Hurst states that the entire amount necessary for the first payment was subscribed in this city. He has made only a partial canvass of this city and intends to make it more complete, The contributions, thus far have been from = men” of alll denominatious, Arrangements will be made for holding a public Leake in this city, when the needs of a university and its objects will be fully set forth, The rest of the pur- chase money will be id in yearly installments, or as rapidly as the funds justify. After money has been raised for the site, which Bishop Hurst proj to raise here, then the university plan will be presented to the people of the country and their assist- ance asked in providing funds for the erection of the buildings and for an endowment fund. THE ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE PUSHED forward as rapidly as possible and when the money is in hand the work of erecting the buildings will be begun, butas yet there are no definite plans as to their number or character. ‘They will, however, be adapted for the uses of the new institution, which will be a univer- sity in the broadest sense of the word. There will pe no collegiate department con- nected with the university, but the courses of study will be adapted to the needs of college graduates who wish to pursue certain lines of study and for those who wish to fit themselves for the professions.

Ex-Representative Taulbee Shot by Correspondent Kincaid. A SENSATIONAL EPISODE. ———— The Wound Dangerous if Not Fatal. Ex-Congressman Taulbee was shot through the head by Charles Kincaid, correspondent of the Louisville Times, at the Capitol shortly be- fore 2 o'clock today, Both men are Kentuckians and the trouble was caused by the ex-Congreseman pulling the correspondent’s nose for publishing certain statements in regard to him. The shooting occurred just outside the Capitol near the southeastern entrance to the building, THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE, A year or more ago one of Mr, Kincaid’s pepers published an account of a scandal Mr. Taulbee was said to be implicated in, and it was the belief of Mr. Taulbee that Judge Kin- caid wrote the article. There has been bad blood between the two ever since, THE MEETING TODAY, The trouble today began in the House cor- ridor near the east door, Judge Kincaid came to the door to send a card to a member on the floor, Taulbee was near the door and accosted Kincaid, callling him aside, Kincaid declined to have any communication with him and Taulbee seized him by the ear, Taulbee is a raw-boned man, considerably over six feet tall, and Kincaid very frail man of prob- ably not more than five feet three inches tall, NOT THEN PREPABED. “I am not prepared tu meet you,” said Kih- eaid. “I am not armed.” “Then you had better be,” Taulbee retorted. ‘The two were immediately separated, Taul- bee being taken into the hall of the House. It is supposed that Judge Kincaid went off atonce and gota pistol, expecting that Taul- bee might again tackle him, ‘The first trouble occurred shortly after 12, THEY MEET AGAIN, About twenty minutes before two Judge Kincaid and Mr. Taulbee met on the steps leading from the House corridor to the base- ment, Just what occurred on this meeting and how they happened to meet there is in doubt at this time, but the statement of the case generally accepted as the fact is that when they met on the stairs Mr, Taulbee rushed at Kincaid and seized him by the nose. THE SHOT FIBED. Thereupon Kincaid drew a pistol and shot him, The ball struck Taulbee in the vicinity of the left temple and came out at the eye, en- tirely destroying the left eye. ‘The wounded man did not fall, tut staggered down the steps with his hand to his head, bleed- ing terribly, Members and others who were attracted by the pistol shot were quickly on the scene. TAKEN TO His HOME. Mr. Taulbee was taken immediately after the shooting to the public buildings and grounds committee room, where he was sur- rounded by almost the entire Kentucky deie- gation. Shortly afterward he was removed from the Capitol and taken in a carriage to his home on Sth street, When removed Mr. Taulbee was auffering exceedingly and was considerably troubled with vomiting fits. Kincaid was removed to what is known as the guard room in the basement of the Capitol. AT THE STATION HOUSE. Policeman Bryan and Capitol Policeman Mast Inter took the prisoner to the sixth pre- cinct station on New Jersey avenue, where a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill was placed against him. Under the Jaw he cannot give bail, but will have to be held in tustody, A TALK WITH KINCAID, “My God that man, has been hounding me for over a year,” said Mr. Kincaid when ques- tioned by a Star reporter at the station house. ‘Some months ago he pressed me against an iron bar and several times he has knocked against me. “Today Mr. Taulbce said: ‘I want to see you,’ Itold him 1 wanted nothing to do with him and asked him to go away. “Some words passed and Mr. Tanibee said ‘you wouldn't hurt anybody.’ I told him not to bother me, that I might hurt him. Taulbee retorted, ‘You're a liar,’ and caught me by the coat.” “Then he puiled my ear. He had me in the doorway and his band behind him, and then the shooting occurred, “That man bothered me so much and I kept out of his way until I am ashamed to acknowl- edge it.” Continuing, Mr. Kincaid said: “I learned from Col. Shaw and Jay Durham that Taulbee had said he ‘ought or would kill me.’” Mr. Kincaid said thet after the patent office scandal was printed he offered Mr. Taulbee three columns for a denial or explanation, but he declined to accept it, ‘THE WEAPON. The weapon used was “the American double action.” It is a thirty-two caliber revolver and bas six chambers. Only one chamber was empty. Capitol Policeman Mast, who caught the wounded man as be was fulling, said thet Mr. Kincaid had the weapon cocked, as though he was going to fire another shot, FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TEE SHOOTING, Taulbee was shot while coming down one of the stairways that load to the basement of the House wing of the Capitol, He was accom- panied by ex-Door Keeper Sam Donaldson, Kincaid came down the steps behind the pair and in a hurried manner touched Taulbee on the shoulder. The ex-Congressman wheeled sharply around and Kincaid, raising his weapon, one of smali caliber, pulled the trigger. Taulbee fell back against the wall, the blood streaming from wound directly below his left eye. Taulbeo did not appear to be badly injured. He walked in an uncertain manner down the steps and then was as- sisted to ao little hole called the jani- tor's office, A great pool of biood marked the spotin the threshhold of the doorway to this room where Taulbee had halted for a mo- ment. In the room of the committee on public buildings and grounds medical attendance was given by Representative Yoder of Ohio, who is a physician, and Dr. Adams of this city. Kincaid Meanwhile bad not endeavored to get away. He leaned against the wall of the staircase utterly weakened and later walked quietly away with the Capitol po- liceman who arrested him, “I’m the man that did it,” be said to the policeman in an aimless manner. He was taken to the Capitol guard room and later to the police station, Dr. Adams said that he could not tell how A ~~ IDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1890. but no one seemed to be succeeding in gaining sn entrance, Dr. Bayne, in answer to the question of the reporter, said the wound was over the left eye and was of a very dangerous character, if not fatal. The course of the wound had not been traeed as yet and they were abont to move the patient to Providence hospital, where he could receive better treatment than at his home. TAULBEE MADE NO STATEMENT, The doctor said it was impossible to see Mr. Taulbee, as if he was excited he could not answer for the consequences. Mr. Taulbee, he said, had made no statement stnce reaching his home in regard to the affair. REFUSE TO MAKE STATEMENTS, Sam Donaldson and others who witnessed the shooting refused to make any statement, JOHN CHRISTIAN'S STATEMENT. John Christian, s laborer employed in the office of the sergeant-at-arms, was one of the eye witnesses, He was at the foot of the steps waiting for the crowd to come down, so that he might go off, when Kincaid fired at Taulbee. Chris- tian said that Tanlbee covered the wound with both hands and tried to give utter- ance toa prolonged groan. Other persons who rived almost immediately say tbat Kincaid made no attempt to encape, but when some one asked who did the shooting he walked forward with the pistol in his hand and said; “I did it” This he repeated several times, CHAS. E, KINCAID, Chas, E. Kincaid, who did the shooting, is a man of thirty-five or thereabouts, and since his graduation from Center college, Danville, he has been well known in newspaper, political and social circles in Kentucky, He comes of an excellent family and has at all times stood high in the estimation of Kentuckians and has never until this time bad any difficulty of a personal nature, Shortly after his graduation, when about twenty years of age, he went into the news- aper business as proprietor of a democratic journal in Lawrencebury, and when he was but twenty-one he became city judge of the town, which position he beld until he retired from the newspaper and the town. He was after- ward railroad commissioner of the state for several years and then became secretary of the democratic state central committee and later was made private secretary to Gov. Knott, which position he resigned to go as the commissioner of the state to Italy to bring back the body of the Sculptor Joel T. Hart, which was buried in Florence. This he did during the prevalence of the cholera in that country, suymounting numerous difficulties inthe undertaxing. On his return he became private secretary to Senator Williama of Ken- tucky and later accepted the position of Wash- ton correspondent of the Louisville Jimes, for which paper he did such excellent service as to give him a reputation all over the state as & newspaper man of superior ability. Out of his correspondence to the Times grew the resent difficulty, which has been brewing for wo Years or more, In 1887 Mr. Kincaid was made consular agent at St. Helen's, England, and remained there for several months, writing to his paper some very spicy and interesting letters, me went abroad again last cummer, principally for his health, He was physically very slight and has not for several years been in good health. Ile is a hard worker and is quite as active socially asin his business and has legions of friends among all classes in Washington and in his own state. EX-REPRESENTATIVE TAULBEE, Ex-Representative Taulbee, the wounded man, came from one of the mountain districts of Kentucky, He is thirty-nine years old, of tall figure, with as frame sinewy end stroug, but lean. He soon became known in the House as a ready talker and was more frequently on his fect than sny other young member, He had an immensely powerful voice, and in the tumults which sometimes occurred in the House itcould always be heard above the din.

Difficulties Which Beset the Commis- sioners inthe Work, From present prospects it is more than likely that considerable trouble will be experienced in the improvement of Bunker Hill road. When the bids were opened yesterday it was found that the lowest bid received exceeded the appropriation several thousand dollars, It wiil be remembered that several days ago bids were received for this work, but as the lowest bid greatly excee the appropriation the award of the contéhct was not made. Capt. ~ Rossell then recom- mended that the work be done by days labor, but this the Commissioners refused to consider, claiming that it was contrary to law. The captain then recommended its re- ertisement. Today the bids were forwarded by Captain Bussell to the Engineer Commissioner with a Jetter explaining the status of the case, —-——_ Abead of Any Other Journal.

He Has Some Ideas of His Own as to the Solution of the Problem, “What nonsense all this talk about sending the blacks back to Africa is!” said Recorder Bruce to a Stan reporter. “They were brought bere against their will, but now they propose to remain. Free tickets would be no induce- ment to them, People don’t care to be dead- | headed to # place where they have no desire to go. Even if a considerable bonus in money were offered each colored passenger taking ship for the dark continent precious few such would be found voyaging southeastward across the main. For seventy years efforts have been made to persuade the n2groes to colonize Li- | beria and yet there are at present only 19,000 | Americo-Liberians, most of them exceedingly | discontented, in that country today. How long, | then, do you’ think it would take to persuade 8,000.000 or 10,000.000 to go over?” “The most serious complaint against the no- groes seems to be that they are too fecund.” DOUBLING EVERY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. “That is true, It is estimated by those op- posed to the race that there will be 115,000,000 | blacks in this country in 1980, They more than double in numbers every twenty-five years, notwithstanding large and continual losses by the approximation of black to white. In other words great numbers of person of color are coustantly arriving at a compicxion so near to white that they join the ranks of the white people and cease to be regarded as ot African race, The fear, as it is commonly ex- Ee is that the American continent will come alarm, like the calculations mathewatical upon which it is based, is without just grounds. A condition of affairs not at all normal exists at present among the negroesof the south. Before | the war, while slavery wasin control, there wasa promiscuity in the relations of the blacks which —for the reason that it is a natural law—bad a tendency to repreas the increase of the colored population, When the slaves were made froe, jowever, the whole situation altered atonce. The blacks flocked in couples to be married legally in such numbers that the magistrates found themselves unable to perform the cere- mony and the legislatures of the states wer obliged to pass laws legalizing by wholesale unions of pairs who had lived together and le- gitimatizing the offspring. Whereupon the colored people settled down to domestic rela- tions on the same principles as those govern- ing the white, and immediately they began to increase with an astonishing rapidity of propa- ‘ation, This has continued up to the present y and hence the alarm,” WHAT THE REMEDY 18, “Which you think groundiess.” “Altogether so. There isa remedy for the difticulty and that remedy is to be found simply in the education of the blacks in the south. It is another natural law that human beings in proportion as they are developed mentally aud morally become jess fecund. The blacks once educated will no longer be propagated to ex- cess, Therefore, as measure of protection for themselves, the whites should lose no time in educating these people. By the last census, that of 1880, it was shown that there were in that year 18,000,000 of people south of Mason and Dixon's line, of which number 5,000.000 could neither read nor write, Statis- tics of the national bureau edu- cation show that there are at present one and one-quarter million of black children in the south who have enjoyed no educational opportunities at all, It is high time something was done, In slavery days it wits a violation of statorial law to teach negroes toread and write. Hence the beginning of the illiteracy. Since then the nation has done othing to repair the misfortune, although it due to the nation’s fault, I say the nation should come to the rescue becsuse the states are too poor to undertake so gigantic a labor unaided, Something in that line must be done if the blacks are not to go on indetinitely reproducing their species, as Senator Ingalls says, in inconceivable ignorance snd inex- haustible fecundity. The American negroes owe a debt to their fatherland—they look of toward it for the future, But they will goto it not as colonists, bat as missionaries and traders, to civilize the natives. Such is the prospective relation of the Americo-African to the mother country.” FUN EVEN IN A CENSUS, An Appeal to Colored Parsons in the South Produces Amusing Results. “The funniest thing that has turned up thus far in connection with the preparation for the tenth census,” said Mr, King of the census bureau toa Stam reporter, “has come about through the sending of what might be called minature registers of births and deaths to colored clergymen all over the south, with requests that the little scheduled blank books should be filled in with memoranda concern- ing all the blacks in their parishes who chanced to be born orto die during the census year. You see, from that part of the country it is very difficult to obtain accurate contributions to our vital statistics regarding the negroes— information, that isto say, as to the ages at which they die, the diseases to which they succumb, and allsuch things from which we derive valuable knowledge as to the relations between disease and race, longevity and oc- a oneal and so on. Down there man colored infants are born without an attendant formality as registration, and many colored people die without medical attendance or legal cognizance of the fact. So we thought ita good idea to ask these parsons, who are always men of large influence among their people, to put down in the blank books we “Quite so, Also @ good one we thought, But the immediate results of its application have been a trifle rising. “We told the clergymen whom we 4 that we were mere. ® service which would be entirely voluntary on their part and that ? l i i | | [ a i i Chiet |" the purpose to get fricanized. ButI contend that this | m. tent men certified than could be gee Bem the lower list The civil service law permitted this and the effect was to make appointments to the lower grades of men who bad passed a much higher examination. Buch appointments, of course, added to the eff- ciency of the service. Witness said that no charges had been filed with him against Mr, Mitchell at the time of his dismissal. When removals were made for cause the Cause was stated in the order for the removal and charges wore kept on the Biles im the appointment division, Witness road the letter ordering the dismissal, which merely ordered the removal, giving no reason. Witness knew of no charges against Mr. Mitchell. Witness said Mr. Mitchell was appointed the last time at £900 and still got that salary, MR. THOMPSON RECALLED. Mr. Thompson was recalled. In answer to Questions by Mr. Stone witness said that the ‘pplication for examination was made by Mr, a some two years after he had him dis- misse The commission had no right then to call in question the cause of bix dismissal, a year bav- ing passed, His good character must be certi- fied to, however. If there was anything in the answer to questions on the application paper which cau the suspicion that there was | Something against the applicant the commie | ston made an investigation before the exatmi- | hation Was ordered to determine whether there Was anything ogaiust the applicant's character, Witness seid that the commissioners did not know Mr. Mitchell at the time of his examination | and appointment, and that no one ever saw | Witness, nor, as he believed, any other member | of the commission, in bebalf of Mr. Mitchell, | They did not know him and had no sort of in- terest in him. MB, ROOSEVELT WANTED A CHANCE, Mr. Roosevelt asked to be given a chance to answer @ question as to whether or not he knew Mitebell or bad any interest in him, They did not give him achance at thet time to answer the question, Later, when Mr. Lyman was on the stand, Mr. Lyman was asked if any one had ever proached him in the interest of Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Lyman said that Mr. Mitchell, the com- Missioner of patents, had come to Mr. Lyman atter Mr. Mitchell's examination and appeal, and had steted the case and expressed the foar that Mr. Webster would not do him justice, He did not ask any favor, but merely would like to have justice done. | Mr. Lyman replied that he knew Mr, Web- justly in any case béfore him, ster would act an oo ames t Mitcbell bad said that he would not ask aud kuew be could not get any- | thing but justice. SECRETARY DOYLE, Mr. Dosle, secretary of the commission, was | called and testified that the date of examina- tion bad nothing to do with the order of ap- pointment. The names of Mr. Mitchell and | the two others certified with him were the highest on the list of eligibles and they were therefore certified as the law requires. No re- — was made to have Mr. Mitchell certified, | Dhe only request was for certification from the | special examiner's list, THE RECOMDS IN THE CASE, Just before the close of the morning session Mr. Thompson read the report of the chief ex- aminer, denying the application of Mr. Mitchell | for rerating. He said he could prove by the | minutes of the commission that this report wae |*pproved and that the rerating was demed, The only thing in this charge Was that Mitchell had been unlawfaily rerated. The records show that he never was rerated. The committee took # recess at 1 o'clock until 2:30. A Stolen Watch.
